I suppose it could be hydrolocking on diesel.
These injectors 2004-2006 are certainly ropey, but usually manifests itself as white smoke at prolonged hot idle (traffic lights/queues) or a diesel knock on startup - have you had either of these?
Be careful, this is a potentially disastrous problem. It is also possible that your previous starter motor was ruined by traying to start the locked engine.
When you did try to start it? What happened? Did it crank? What kind of sound? Did the lights go dim?
